General Information
The School
WILLIAMSPORT DICKINSON SEMINARY offers col-
lege preparatory and junior college courses for young
men and women. It provides facilities for both day school
and boarding students offering two years of college and four years
of preparatory work, including courses in music, art, expression
and business.
Location
It is located at Williamsport, Pennsylvania, "The Queen City
of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River," on the famed Sus-
quehanna Trail, midway between Buffalo, New York, and Washings
ton, D. C. Statistics prove it to be the healthiest city in the State
of Pennsylvania, and it is reported to be the third healthiest city in
the United States. Williamsport is famous for its picturesque
scenery, its beautiful homes, and the culture and kindness of its
people. The Pennsylvania, the Reading, and the New York Central
Railroads, with their fast trains, put it within two hours' reach of
Harrisburg, four and a half hours of Philadelphia, and six hours
of Pittsburgh.
History
Williamsport Dickinson Seminary was founded in 1848 by a
group of men of Williamsport under the leadership of Rev. Benja-
min H. Crever, who, hearing that the old Williamsport Academy
was about to be discontinued, proposed to accept the school and
conduct it as a Methodist educational institution. Their offer was
accepted and, completely reorganized, with a new president and
faculty, it opened September, 1848, as Dickinson Seminary, under
the patronage of the old Baltimore Conference. It was acquired
in 1869 and is still owned by the Preachers' Aid Society of the
Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and is regularly chartered under the laws of the State of
9
Pennsylvania. It is not a money-making institution. All of its
earnings as well as the generous gifts of its friends have been spent
for maintenance and improvements. During a large part of its his-
tory its curriculum covered the work now included in a high school
course and at the same time included about two years of college
work. By its charter it is empowered to grant degrees, which au-
thority was for a time exercised. In 1912 it began to confine itself
to the college preparatory field and continued in that field till 1929.
After considering both the opportunity and the need of doing more
advanced work, the Board of Directors at their meeting in October,
1928, voted to continue the college preparatory and general academic
work, and to add two years of college work, paralleling the freshman
and sophomore years in a liberal arts college. These junior college
courses are outlined herein and may be found on later pages of this
catalogue.
Grounds and Buildings
The campus is located near the center of the City on a slight
eminence, which causes the School to be affectionately referred
to as "the school upon the hilltop." Stately elms, maples, and trees
of other variety add beauty and dignity to the campus and form an
attractive setting for the imposing buildings. To the south and
across the Susquehanna, within twenty minutes' walk, is the beau-
tiful Bald Eagle Range of the Allegheny Mountains, affording a
view of perennial charm. To the north are the Grampian Hills. In
fact Williamsport, "beautiful for location," is seldom surpassed or
equaled in its wealth of beautiful scenery.
On the campus stand the buildings conveniently grouped. They
are of brick and steel construction, heated by steam from a central
plant, lighted by electricity and supplied throughout with hot and
cold water and all modern conveniences. The rooms are large, airy
and well lighted.
The Main Building is an imposing structure of brick and occu-
pies the central part of the campus. In this building are the ad-
ministrative offices, dining room, chapel, school parlor, class rooms,
and dormitories. There are hardwood floors throughout.
11
Bradley Hall is the Fine Arts Building. It was erected in 1895
of red brick and is modern in construction. The splendid music
studios and practice rooms, the art studios, and the library axe here.
The Service Building is also of red pressed brick and is a mod-
ern fireproof building. The basement and the first floor house the
heating plant and the laundry. The second and third floors contain
dormitories and are used for the boys of the Junior College.
The Gymnasium
WUliamsport Dickinson is fortunate in having a splendid new
Gymnasium, dedicated November 8, 1924, which is a popular center
of physical, social, and cultural activities. The building is 110 ft.
by 88 ft. 6 in., beautifully designed and of semi-fireproof con-
struction.
The basement includes a modern swimming pool 20x60 ft.,
equipped with a sterilization and filtration plant. The pool is con-
structed of tUe and is amply lighted, with large sash to the open air
making a sunlit pool at nearly all hours of the day.
There are also two bowling alleys of latest design with separate
private rooms and showers for both home and visiting teams. Pro-
vision for private dressing rooms and shower rooms for girls and
women is made.
The gymnasium floor proper is 90x65 ft, with a stage at the
easterly end so that the main floor can readily be converted into an
auditorium if need be, suitable for recitals and even more preten-
tious productions. In every way the building is a center of athletic,
social and cultural activities.
Aim
The purpose of WUliamsport Dickinson is to prepare students for
their life work in a homelike religious atmosphere at a minimum
cost. In its Preparatory Department it fits its students for any
college or technical school. For those who do not plan to go to
college it offers exceptionally strong courses leading to appropriate
diplomas. In the Junior College Department it aims to give two
12
"// 3^0?' played your pari in the world of men,
The Critic will call it good."
years of college work under the most favorable conditions, especially
appealing to those who graduate from high school at an early age
and who would like to take the first two years of college work un-
der conditions affording more intimate personal contacts with the
teachers and assuring personal interest and helpful guidance. It
offers a large amount of college work in the form of electives to
those whose college career will likely be confined to two years.
A Home School
Williamsport Dickinson recognizes the fact that it is more than a
school. It accepts responsibility for the home life of its students as
well. Every effort is put forth to make the Seminary as home like as
possible. Here lasting friendships are formed, and memories are
stored up to which they may, in future years, look back with affec-
tion and pride.
Cultural Influences
Williamsport Dickinson aims to develop in its students an easy
familiarity with the best social forms and customs. Young men and
women meet in the dining hall, at receptions, and other social func-
tions. These contacts together with frequent talks by instructors
do much to develop poise and social ease. Persons of prominence
are brought to the school for talks and lectures, and excellent talent
provides for recreation and entertainment. Courses of entertain-
ment are provided by community organizations which bring the best
artistic talent to the city. Students whose grades justify it are
permitted and urged to take advantage of these opportunities.
Religious Influences
Williamsport Dickinson is a religious school. It is not sectarian.
At least four religious denominations are represented on its Board of
Directors. Every student is encouraged to be loyal to the church
of his parents. The atmosphere of the school is positively religious.
Every effort is made to induce students to enter upon the Christian
life and be faithful thereto.
A systematic study of the Bible is required of aU students. Reg-
ular attendance is required at the daily chapel service. Students
13
attend the Sunday morning service at one of the churches in the city.
On Sunday evening all attend a Vesper Service held in the school
chapel. There is a weekly Prayer Service in charge of the College
Pastor, a member of the faculty, or a visiting speaker. There are
chapters of Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associa-
tions that do active work in promoting the religious life of the school.
The John Wesley Club is composed of students preparing for
the ministry or other forms of religious work. Through regular
meetings and deputation teams they gain valuable training and ex-
perience in religious work.
Through the generosity of the late Honorable M. B. Rich, for
eighteen years President of the Board of Directors, a Department
of Religion has been established in the school, and the professor
in charge of this department is also COLLEGE PASTOR and gives
a large portion of his time in promoting a helpful religious atmo-
sphere in the school and in personal interviews with students on
matters of vital interest to them.
Government
It is aimed to develop in each student a sense of loyalty to the
School and a sense of fitness in his actions through the appeals
of ideals and examples. Offenses are dealt with by the withdrawal
of certain student privileges ; while good work in class room and
good conduct in school life are rewarded by special privileges granted
only upon the attainment of certain levels of scholarship and de-
portment.
It is understood that students entering Williamsport Dickinson do
so with the intention of making an honest effort to do satisfactory
work in every respect. Where a student is not able to conform to
the school program, the parents or guardians are asked to withdraw
the student from the school.
Coeducational
Coeducation, properly administered, is both highly satisfactory
and desirable. In a coeducational school where boys and girls asso-
ciate under proper conditions and supervision their influences are
14

ti)
mutually helpful. Boys become more refined and careful of their
appearance and conduct. Girls learn to appreciate the sterling
qualities of purposeful boys when they are permitted to associate
and compete with them in the activities of school life.
The apartments of the girls are entirely separate from those of
the boys. Proper supervision of the girls and boys is maintained
at all times.
Faculty
The Faculty is composed of thoroughly trained, carefully se-
lected Christian men and women. The two ideals they hold before
themselves are scholarship and character. They live with the stu-
dents, room on the same halls, eat at the same tables, and strive in
every way to win their confidence and friendship. Williamsport
Dickinson aims to make the home and working conditions of the
members of the faculty so pleasant they will be encouraged to do
their very best work and look forward to years of pleasant and
helpful service in the school. This policy has resulted in building
up a faculty of which we are justly proud.
Athletics and Physical Training (Boys)
The object of this department is to promote the general health
and the physical and intellectual efficiency of the students. Per-
sistent effort is made to interest everybody in some form of indoor
and outdoor sports. Intramural athletic games between groups of
students not members of varsity teams encourage athletic activities
on the part of all students. The athletic teams are carefully select-
ed and systematically trained. They are sent into a game to win
if they can, but more emphasis is placed upon playing the game
fair and straight than upon winning. Williamsport Dickinson is
represented each year in inter-scholastic contests by football, bas-
ketball, baseball, track, and tennis teams. An excellent athletic
field offers every facility for football, baseball, tennis, and other
outdoor sports. During the winter months the tennis courts on
the campus are flooded providing an opportunity for skating.
15
Athletics and Physical Training (Girls)
The aim of this work is the care and the development of the body
by means of appropriate exercises. The results to be achieved are
better health, good poise, and the overcoming of such physical de-
fects as will yield to corrective exercises. A portion of the time
each week is given to physical culture with the purpose that the
body may become free and more graceful. Gymnasium work largely
takes the form of games in swimming, bowling, basketball, and other
floor work, with attention to those needing special corrective exercises.
Teams in basketball and swimming represent the school in outside
competition. Outdoor activities include archery, hockey, tennis,
skating, hiking, and horseback riding.
The Dr. E. J. Gray Memorial Library
The library is playing an increasingly important part in any
educational program today. Recognizing this, Williamsport Dick-
inson completely reorganized its library with the beginning of its
Junior College program. Commodious, well lighted, and attractive
quarters conveniently located in Bradley Hall were provided. The
equipment is entirely new, including steel shelving, quartered oak
tables and chairs, desk, filing cabinets, etc. The more than six
thousand volumes in the old library were carefully assorted, retain-
ing four thousand volumes, to which new volumes have been added
bringing the total to more than seven thousand. The majority of
the new volumes are directly related to the various departments of
the Junior College. A very excellent list of reference works has
been provided and an attractive group of books for general reading
has been added in order to stimulate the interest of the students in
books not directly related to their special interest.
The library is in charge of a full time professionally trained
librarian and a full time experienced assistant librarian, together
with student help as needed.
The James V. Brown Library is within two squares of the School.
Its large collection of books as well as its courses of lectures and
entertainments are freely open to all students of the college and the
preparatory department.

The Junior College
The Junior College has become one of the most significant devel-
opments in the field of higher education. The high school graduate
usually needs to make new social contacts, to learn to accept respon-
sibility, and to form systematic habits of study and living. The
Junior College offers these advantages in connection with college
studies so that the student's educational progress is not retarded
while these important habits are being established.
The Junior College offers two types of courses: (1) those
which are called terminal, that is, complete educational units in
particular fields; and (2) those which cover the first two years of a
four-year college for those who desire to complete their degree
requirements later. Both types of courses meet the highest college
standards and afford both pleasant and desirable college experience.
The development of the junior college is the result of an increas-
ing demand for an individualized program in higher education, a
program in which emphasis is placed on meeting the cultural and
practical needs of the individual student. Instruction in small
groups is offered in the place of mass education. At Williamsport
Dickinson the student bridges the gap between high school and col-
lege by easy, natural stages, each young man and woman being given
a chance for self examination and experiment before definitely decid-
ing upon the courses which will lead to his or her chosen profession
or vocation. As the enrollment is purposely kept at relatively low
figures, the facility is able to become personally acquainted with each
individual. Class groups are therefore small and permit of constant
discussion and participation by each student in class problems.
Experience has shown that many high school graduates are im-
mature when they enter college, and fail to succeed because they are
not able to cope with the freedom and responsibilities suddenly thrust
upon them. The individualized program in practice at Williamsport
Dickinson seeks to remedy this condition by personalized instruction
17
and intimate social contacts. The problems of the student become
the very real problems of the instructor who with his personal ac-
quaintance with the pupil can guide his energies in the direction best
fitted to his aptitudes and talents. Many noteworthy successes result
from what otherwise would be failure. Too large a percentage of
students who enroll in a four-year college, do not, for various reasons,
remain in college until graduation. It is better for these students to
enter a Junior College and complete the course, receiving a diploma,
than to have the feeling of having dropped from college at a time
when the work was only partially completed. The small size of the
student group is a spur to greater participation in both scholastic
and extra curricular activities developing thereby the qualities of
both character and leadership. Thus the Williamsport Dickinson
Junior College offers a well rounded and comprehensive program
that not only prepares the student for his profession or vocation but
for life as well.
Recognition and Transfer Privileges
Williamsport Dickinson Junior College is a member of the Amer-
ican Association of Junior Colleges, is approved by the University
Senate of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Pennsylvania
State Council of Education, and accredited by the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Graduates from
the Junior College have been accepted with advanced standing by
the leading colleges and universities to which they have applied for
admission and have made unusually high scholastic records.
Individual cases naturally depend on the student's preparation,
the calibre of his work and the course which he desires to pursue.
Upon registering at Williamsport Dickinson the student should fully
acquaint the President with his future plans so that credit require-
ments of the college to which he plans to go may be anticipated in
advance.
18
Junior College Curricula
The Junior College offers the following courses leading to a
diploma or a certificate:

essential intellectual backgroimd of an educated person, and to lay the
foimdations upon which may be built a solid structure of broad knowl-
edge and good citizenship.
III. Commerce and Finance and Secretarial Science.
These courses are intended to furnish a fundamental business edu-

other and of the organism to its environment, development, growth,
reproduction, and the mechanism and laws of heredity. The princi-
ples developed in the classroom are illustrated in the laboratory
through a study of different types of plants and animals. The view-
point of the adaptation of structure to function is stressed and com-
parisons are made of the manner by which the same physiological
activities are accomplished by different organisms, both simple and
complex. Two hours of lecture and recitation and one three-hour
laboratory period per week throughout the year.

Music
The highest standard of musical excellence and artistic worth
is maintained in every branch of the musical work at Williamsport
Dickinson. Special attention is called to the advantages attendant
upon pursuing a course of study in a regular and fully equipped
school of music. Private and public recitals are frequently held, in
which the students take part. Instrumental and vocal ensemble
work also has a definite place in the curriculum.
Full and complete courses are offered in Piano, Voice, Violin, Ear
Training, Harmony, History and Appreciation of Music, Theory,
and Ensemble. All certificate and diploma students are required
to do a certain amount of public recital work, and all other students
are required to appear in private or public recitals at the discre-
tion of the Director. The length of time necessary to complete
any one course depends altogether on the ability and applica-
tion of the student. All students in the Preparatory Music Course
must give a group of at least three compositions in public in their
senior year, and all students in the College Music Course must give
a graduating recital in their final year of work.
Two distinct courses are offered in music: (1) the Preparatory
Music Course, which is a four-year course, designed to be conveniently
taken along with the College Preparatory Course, or the General
Academic Course, (see page 58); (2) the College Music Course,
which combines in an excellent manner a detailed music course and a
considerable amount of work in the Junior College.
The College Music Course is a two-year course, and is open only
to those students who present the same entrance qualifications as
those who enter the regular Junior College work, namely, a high
school diploma. In addition, it is understood that the student shall
present musical qualifications equivalent to the Preparatory Music
Course as outlined in this catalogue (page 58) with the exception
of the theoretical work. A diploma in College Music is granted to
a student who successfully completes the required work in the Col-
lege Music Course as outlined in the catalogue below :
41
The Music Department maintains a Choral Club, an Orchestra,
a Band, and a String Ensemble. All Williamsport Dickinson stu-
dents are eligible to these organizations.
Outline of The Junior College Course in Music
Note: A credit of one semester hour is given for each hour of class
work. A credit of two semester hours is given for each hour of daUy prac-
tice, six days per week.

Note: In the case of a student who possesses sufficient talent to pass the
requirements in practical music as outlined in the Preparatory Music Ck)urse,
but who has had no theoretical training, the student may take Harmony I and
Ear Training I in the first year of the College Music Course, and substitute
Harmony II and Ear Training II for the elective in the second year, though
this will be allowed only in the case of a talented student, and depends en-
tirely on the decision of the Director and the Music Faculty.

College Preparatory
Department
Courses of Study
The Diploma of the Seminary will be awarded to the student
who completes any one of the following courses: College Prepara-
tory, General Academic, Regular Commercial, Piano, Voice, Violin,
Expression, and Art.
Students completing a course in one of the special departments
but without the necessary academic requirements will be awarded
a certificate instead of a diploma.
The College Preparatory course offered by the Seminary covers
the needs of those preparing for college and technical school.
The minimum requirement for graduation in the College Pre-
paratory course consists of fifteen and one-half units, three of which
must be in English, and two and one-half of which must be in
Mathematics. American History and Civics, one unit of Science,
not less than two units each of two Foreign Languages or four of one
Foreign Language and one-half unit in Bible must be included in the
fifteen and one-half units.
The General Academic course is not intended necessarily to pre-
pare for college. The minimum requirement for graduation in this
course consists of seventeen units, four of which must be in English,
two in Foreign Language, one in American History and Civics, one
in Science, one in Algebra, one in Geometry, and one-half unit in
Bible.
The Regular Commercial Course is designed not only to prepare
the student for immediate employment, but also to give a broad edu-
cation in the general principles underlying all business. In addition,
students receive a thorough training in related secondary school sub-
jects. The business world offers attractive and varied opportunities
for those whose talents and inclinations fit them for its pursuits. It
46
affords the biggest field in which education can be put to practical
use, and it is the field which pays the highest immediate returns to
those who possess initiative, ambition, and a careful business training.
A student in any course must have to his credit one semester of
Bible, five periods per week. He must also have one year of Physi-
cal Training for each year spent in Williamsport Dickinson.
A unit represents one year of work, thirty-six weeks, five forty-
five-minute periods per week, except in the case of English and
First and Second-year Algebra, in which cases only three-fourths of
one unit is allowed for one year of work.
Wherever elective subjects are listed in any course, it is the
aim of the faculty to schedule a student in the way which will best
train him or her for the particular college course or vocation to be
pursued.
Emphasis will be laid upon thoroughness of work. The faculty
reserves the right to limit the number of studies which any pupil
will be allowed to carry.
Students who do not intend to pursue one of the regular courses,
with the consent of their parents and the approval of the faculty,
may elect such studies as they desire.
At least two years of any language elected in any course will
be required for graduation.
For more detailed information, see Courses of Instruction.
Certificates, with recommendation for admission to college, will
be granted in any subject only to students who make a grade of
at least 80%.
Our certificates are accepted by all colleges accepting certifi-
cates. A number of colleges are now admitting by certificates only
those who rank in a certain section of their class, usually the first half.

Courses of Instruction
COLLEGE PREPARATORY
Bible
The material of the Old and New Testaments is presented in
story form. The aim is to teach the content of the Bible rather
than to treat it critically. However, evidences of growth in re-
ligious thought will be pointed out. Memory passages, maps, and
reports on special topics are required. Required for graduation.
One semester. Five hours.
The course will be offered each semester.
Classical Languages
The practical value of a study of the classics has often been
questioned, but nothing has ever been found to take their place.
The classics are still retained in the best courses of the best schools,
and are pre-eminently adapted to bring the student to an acquain-
tance with the sources of inspiration of all the literature of suc-
ceeding periods.
Latin
First Year: Careful study of simple Latin forms and construc-
tions. Sight and prepared translation of connected Latin sentences.
Prose composition. Vocabulary building. Study of simple English
derivatives. Frequent reviews to fix the work.
Second Year: Thorough and systematic review of First Year
forms and constructions. Continued study of more difficult inflec-
tions and principles of syntax. The readings are confined to easy
stories, Roman history and biographies, the first semester, and to
selections from Caesar, the second semester. Study of English
derivatives continued. Prose composition.
Third Year: Review of grammar of the First and Second Years.
The readings are limited mainly to the select orations and letters of
49
Cicero. Attention is directed to the style, personality, and influence
of the author, and such phases of Roman life are studied as will
lead to a better understanding of the Latin read. Prose composition.
Fourth Year: Review of grammar of the previous years. The
readings are confined to selections from Ovid and Vergil's Aeneid.
Scansion is emphasized. Assigned readings in mythology. Con-
tinued study of such phases of Roman life as will help the student
better to understand the text read.
English
The purpose of the work in English is to develop, as far as pas-
sible, in every student, the ability to speak and write correctly.
Representative classics of England and America are studied, along
with the history of the literatures of the two countries. The sched-
ule of English classics for college entrance requirements is followed
throughout the four years. An attempt is constantly made to in-
still a "feeling for language," and to inculcate some conception of
style, and toward the end of the course interpretative criticism on
the part of the students themselves is striven for.
The four books of the "Literature and Life" series, by Green-
law and others, are used throughout the course — one each year. Be-
sides the classics from "Literature and Life" listed below for in-
tensive study during the four years, all the introductions to the
various chapters in the "Literature and Life" books, as well as
practically all of the stories, essays, poems, etc., therein, are care-
fully read. The chapter introductions to Books II and IV com-
prise brief, but comprehensive, histories of American and English
Literatures respectively, and are stressed.
Two pieces of written work are required of each student each
week. Oral themes are required also from time to time. Each
student, in addition to his regular class work, must read, and report
on, four books each year. These books are selected with the ap-
proval, or on the recommendation of the teacher.
First Year: The work of the first year includes a thorough study
of the functions of words, the sentence, and the paragraph. Atten-
50
tion is also given to oral expression as a basis for composition writing.

hoe; Eliott, Silas Marner; selected stories from the works of Poe,
Hawthorne, Hardy, Doyle, Kipling, and others ; Stevenson, Travels
with a Donkey; Burns, Tam O'Shanter ; Keats, The Eve of St. Agnes ;
Byron, The Prisoner of Chillon; Arnold, Sohrab and Rustum; Tenny-

Third Year: This course includes a continued review of the ele-
mentary work of the first two years, mentioned above, with increased
emphasis upon the rhetorical principles of unity, coherence, and
emphasis in the paragraph and the longer theme. The student
makes practical application of the principles in themes, which receive
detailed criticism from the instructor. Special credit is given for
extra reading.
An intensive study is made of Shakespeare's Tempest, Franklin's
Autobiography, Melville's Typee, and selections from the following
authors: Bryant, Poe, Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau, Longfellow,
Whittier, Holmes, Lowell, Lanier, Whitman, Bret Harte, Mark
Twain, Hamlin Garland, O. Henry, Morley, Frost.

pare the student adequately for Freshman English in college. The
course includes a thorough review of the principles of grammar,
composition, and rhetoric. Verse is studied intensively, and other
types are given adequate attention. English literature, with an ex-
51
cursion into American literature to study Emerson, is studied chrono-
logically. Supplementary readings and reports are required.

terbury Tales; Everyman; Shakespeare, Macbeth; Bacon, Essays Of
Studies, Of Truth, Of Wisdom for a Man's Self; Milton, Lycidas:

Churchyard; Goldsmith, The Deserted Village; Macaulay, The
Life of Samuel Johnson; Arnold, Wordsworth; Emerson, Manners,
Self Reliance; Rosetti, The Blessed Damozel; Tennyson, A Dream

Fifth Year: This special course in English is designed pri-
marily for high school graduates who desire a general review of the
principles of grammar, composition, and rhetoric before begirming
the study of English in college. Thorough drill is given, with special
attention to the needs of the particular group.
History
Students are required to fill in outline maps, to take notes of
class work and to prepare reports on subjects assigned for indi-
vidual investigation. Collateral reading of not less than five hun-
dred pages is required. Current topics are emphasized in connec-
tion with the history courses.

paring the student for advanced work.
Plane Geometry. A complete working knowledge of the prin-
ciples and methods of the subject is aimed at, together with a de-
velopment of the ability to give clear and accurate expression to
statements and reasons in demonstration. A large amount of inde-
pendent exercise of the reasoning powers is required.
Solid Geometry. By emphasis on the effects of perspective,
and by the use of models, the student is helped to a comprehension
of figures and relations in three dimensions. The practical appli-
cation to mensuration problems are a feature of the course.
Plane Trigonometry. This course involves the solution of plane
triangles by means of logarithms and the functions of the angles.
Identities, equations, circular measure, derivation of laws and for-
mulae are among the topics discussed.

the first two years of algebra together with plane geometry. It is
intended for those students having credit in these subjects but who
need additional preparation for college mathematics.
French
Courses are offered in French which fully prepare for college
entrance. The aim is to give at least the beginnings of a real in-
sight into the language and literature. As far as possible the lan-
53
guage studied is made the language of the class room. Daily exer-

Self-Help
There are opportunities in the school for self-help for only a
very few girls. About forty boys are able to earn part of their
expenses in various ways in the school, and there are many oppor-
tunities for student work in the town.
Loans
A limited number of worthy students, members of the Method-
ist Episcopal Church, may secure loans from the Student Loan
Fund administered by the Board of Education of that Church.
Christian character, satisfactory scholarship, promise of usefulness,
financial responsibility, and the recommendation of the church to
which the applicant belongs are essential to a loan. Each borrower
must sign an interest-bearing promissory note.
There are also loan funds in the Philadelphia and the Central
Pennsylvania Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church for
students from these conferences on practically the same terms as
above.
Detailed information may be secured from the President.

Entrance Requirements
Any young person of good moral character may enter Williams-
port Dickinson at any time of year for a single semester or longer.
Applicants must bring a certificate of work done and recom-
mendations from the schools previously attended, or from former
instructors, or other responsible persons.
Regulations
It is the endeavor of Williamsport Dickinson to create a home-
like atmosphere of good fellowship in which study and recreation are
pleasantly blended to achieve a maximum amount of progress with-
out an excess of restrictive disciplinary measures. However, a
certain number of regulations are naturally essential to the smooth
running of an organization the size of Williamsport Dickinson. The
school regulations, in addition to those which are given here, are
published in the form of a hand book, which will be furnished to each
student upon matriculation. These regulations have evolved from
the experiences of many years which have shown that Williamsport
Dickinson has a group of students of unusually high calibre, the
majority of whom have a definite goal in life. Student government
and self discipline are encouraged by the school authorities as exert-
ing a definite influence upon the building of good character and good
citizenship.
Students from a distance are required to live in the building, but
those having near relatives residing in Williamsport are sometimes
granted permission to make their homes with them.
Students wUl find it much easier to grasp the work and get a good
start for the school year if they plan to arrive on the first day of the
semester and remain until the last day.
Absences from classes at the beginning or end of holiday recesses
count double and will only be excused for very special reasons.
It is suggested to parents that they should not call their children
home during the semester as any absence interferes with good work.
70
As students are responsible to Williamsport Dickinson en route to
and from school, they are expected to report at the Seminary imme-
diately upon arriving in Williamsport. Williamsport Dickinson ex-
pects each student to maintain the honor of the school by such conduct
as becomes a lady or a gentleman.
Students should be sparingly supplied with spending money, in-
asmuch as the tuition and board take care of all ordinary expenses.
If it is so desired, a member of the faculty will act as patron, paying
weekly such allowances as may be designated and supervising all
expenditures.
No firearms of any kind are allowed in the buildings.
All students are expected to provide themselves with a hymnal
for use in the chapel service.
Students in residence at Williamsport Dickinson are not permit-
ted to maintain automobiles at the school or in the city, except for
special reasons, and on permission from the President, nor are they
permitted to hire or leave the city in automobiles without special per-
mission.
Rooms at Williamsport Dickinson are thoroughly furnished. A
comfortable bed, pillows, pillow slips, sheets, blankets, and counter-
panes are furnished. One 50 watt bulb is supplied for each room.
For each additional light socket in the room the student will be
charged $2.50 each semester. The student should bring the follow-
ing: 4 table napkins, 2 laundry bags, 1 pair of slippers, shoe polish-
ing outfit, 1 clothes brush, 1 bath robe, 6 face towels, 4 bath towels.
The school supplies two double blankets. If students wish more
than this number they should bring them. Every article of clothing
that goes to the laundry should be plainly marked with the student's
full name with THE BEST INDELIBLE INK THAT CAN BE
PURCHASED.
Teachers and students remaining at Williamsport Dickinson dur-
ing the short vacations will be charged $1.50 for each day or part of a
day. Parents or guardians visiting pupils are the guests of the Semi-
nary for the first twenty-four hours. Other guests may be entertained
if permission is secured from the President. Their student hosts
are expected to pay the regular rates for their entertainment.
